On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Motala will be different from today, with cypress, grass continuing to decline

On 16 July 2026, Grass is the dominant pollen source in Motala. cypress are also present but at lower levels. hazel, willow, alder, artemisia, and birch are not currently active.

In Motala, alder gets the pollen season underway in February, with birch building to its main peak by May. Once birch fades, grass pollen sustains elevated counts through most of the early summer. How Lake Vättern's eastern shore interacts with prevailing winds is a recurring factor behind day-to-day pollen variability here. What keeps the season going into August here is largely the surrounding pine forest and open agricultural land.

The Motala pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Motala, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
